Nice, I saw some nice lights in the sky up near Bay City last year.
It is easy to get frustrated with how life has been going in the D, but that does no good. It must be accepted but constantly worked on. Education is the only way out.

But you already know killing a cop will just make another million people straight up racist. Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Maybe the results aren't as obvious, but working on the education of the people, and the entire movement of 'loving thyself' is the only way to truly get rid of ignorance and pain like this.

RIP
Horrible to hear

Things like this happen all the time and rarely get into print disclosed to the public

Ive spent alot of time in Detroit, most people have no idea how bad it is out there, I gotta say, there are so many people actin like there about some thug shit these days (the greater east bay comes to mind as a example), its trendy now, guarantee you if those people go spend some time in Detroit, they come back home, tuck in their shirt, and go find a job.

Its really sad to because Detroit has such great history and visually other than the grime its a really nice area, Ive had alot of summer bbqs on Belle Isle, big part of my childhood, its hard to equate such great memories and Belle Isle which is amazing to the violence the D is known for.

I wish I could say i see Detroit turning around but I cant.
That's true, I don't see anything changing either really. In many areas in America, Detroit included, you have the same type of problems in different geographical areas on the map.

It all starts with your family, and a lot of these kids are born into shitty families honestly. Then these families and individuals will get influenced by their surroundings which can become an even worse influence on you, since human beings will naturally form relationships with others around them and form their own values and mentality based on what they've been learning since kid years.

But the media would like you to believe that the segregation is all a shroud inside people's heads, when in reality it occurs all across the nation, and it really is a big problem in Detroit. I live near Detroit, and white people I know have no qualms about separating themselves since they can fall back on liberal ideals they hold on to, like "our city is so diverse!" and "we're so ethnic!" but nobody gave a fuck about that when they were trying to do it legally about 50 years ago. But then they'll tell you that that shit 50 years ago has no bearing on today, even though the same locations effected 50 years ago are the same locations still fucked up in 2010.

Its bad enough you're born into a shitty family, poverty, surrounding, etc. but then you get sent to a shitty school with others who will be more or less in similar situation and guess what happens to a lot of these little hood kids going to these schools? They don't do well, and a lot of them end up dropping out. I'm sure this same thing happens in all types of cities, not just Detroit, but in Detroit these problems are huge.

Of course the last thing you should need in your ghetto reality is outside influences from media, which create even more problems especially for young people witnessing it. It's really a huge social mess that's been cooking up in Detroit and other cities in America since forever.

It's sad that a little girl had to die by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's a fucked up story and there's no reason a little kid has to be shot and killed.

Autopsy shows girl,7, shot in the head
Southfield -- An independent autopsy found that 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones was shot in the head, not the neck, and the Wayne County Medical Examiner has corrected the girl's cause of death.

Geoffrey Fieger said Tuesday the new findings contradict official accounts of the girl's fatal shooting by a police officer during a botched raid at Aiyana's home on the city's east side.

Fieger said the autopsy conducted by Macomb County Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz also offers proof that the fatal shot was fired through the home's open door -- not after an officer entered the house and had a confrontation or collision with the girl's grandmother.

"I just wonder why you keep saying it was an accident. He shot purposefully," said Fieger, who has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family claiming negligence and a police cover-up.

"I'm not suggesting that he knew what he was shooting at. I'm telling you that he pulled the trigger and shot into the house. That's not an accident. Why he did it, I can't tell you. What he was aiming at, I can't tell you, but I can tell you it's not an accident."
County officials confirmed the death certificate issued five days after Aiyana's May 16 death was corrected Friday to reflect the new findings. The original certificate issued on May 21 listed Aiyana's only injury as a gunshot wound to the neck. A county spokesman said Tuesday the death certificate was issued prior to the final written conclusions of the official autopsy, which remain unavailable to the public.

Spitz was hired by the family to analyze the death. He determined in his report that a bullet entered through the top of the girl's head, passed through her brain, exited through her neck and grazed her chest.

"The day after her death, you began to receive disinformation from the Detroit Police Department," said Fieger.

Officials from the Detroit Police and Michigan State Police, which is investigating the girl's death, didn't return calls Tuesday. Police have said the fatal shot came from the gun of Officer Joseph Weekley.

Police raided the home on Lillibridge a block from Mack Avenue in search of a murder suspect. They arrested Chauncey Owens in a simultaneous raid on an upstairs flat in the same building. The homes have separate addresses and entrances. Owens was bound over for trial Tuesday in the May 14 slaying of 17-year-old Jerean Blake in a parking lot not far from Aiyana's home.

Fieger claimed the findings offer proof of a police cover-up and attempt to lay blame for the girl's death on her grandmother.

Mertilla Jones, 46, has said a stun grenade thrown by police through a front window about 12:30 a.m. caused her to tumble from the living room sofa where she and her granddaughter were sleeping. She has said she never touched the officer, but yelled at him, "You f'ed up. Gone and killed my grandbaby." She said another officer scooped up the bleeding girl and ran with her outside. The girl was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead an hour later.

Mertilla Jones was arrested and her family was told she had tried to grab the officer's gun. She was released about 12 hours later after police announced the two may have collided in the dark.

She said Tuesday that animations of the scene prepared by Fieger's office were accurate with her recollections of the events. Fieger said he assumes police recovered the spent bullet from somewhere inside the house, which could also help prove the trajectory of the shot.

The new autopsy "completely disproves this false claim that there was some kind of struggle inside the house," Fieger said.

Feiger also backed away from earlier claims he made about the flash grenade causing burns to the girl's body. On Tuesday, Fieger said the girl's blanket was burned, but not the girl.

Soon after the tragedy, Fieger said he was shown a video recording of officers gathering on the front porch that showed the shot was fired from outside the home. He said Spitz's analysis confirms that scenario. Fieger said he only saw the video but has assurances he will be given a copy.

He implied Tuesday that the video isn't the same as recordings made of the raid by a camera crew from the A&E network for the reality show "The First 48."

All of the video recordings were made from outside the home, and Fieger said the one he was shown clearly shows a "muzzle flash" from an officer's gun after he kicked open the door and before he entered the house.

He said he is uncertain what the A&E video might show, but he challenged Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans to show the video to the public. The show's tapes reportedly were given to Michigan State Police investigators.

Fieger said he wants the city to apologize to the family and, "secondly, I want them to tell the truth."

Aiyana's father, Charles Jones, seated next to Fieger at the press conference Tuesday, said, "The truth."

He said nothing else.
